AI Technical Summary
Existing nougat cutting devices are unable to effectively collect the debris generated during the cutting process, leading to accumulation on the work surface and affecting aesthetics and hygiene.
A screw motor drives the support platform to move, causing the cutting mechanism below it to cut the nougat. A blower generates negative pressure to collect the debris into a collection bin, and the debris is guided into the collection bin through a chute and a discharge chute.
It enables effective collection of debris during the cutting process, preventing debris from accumulating on the worktable and keeping the equipment clean and aesthetically pleasing.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment technology, and more specifically, to a soft nougat cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Soft nougat is known for its soft texture, moderate sweetness, and chewy texture. It is neither too sweet nor too cloying. Its main ingredients include marshmallows, butter, milk powder, and crushed peanuts. Some recipes also add ingredients such as syrup, egg whites, and nuts to make the taste even richer and more diverse.
[0003] In existing nougat cutting devices, nougat is transported to the lower part of the longitudinal cutting device via a belt conveyor for longitudinal cutting during longitudinal cutting. The transverse cutting device includes a vertically arranged cutting blade and a drive device (such as a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) for driving the cutting blade to move up and down. During transverse cutting, the longitudinally cut nougat is transported to the lower part of the transverse cutting device via a belt conveyor for cutting.
[0004] The aforementioned device generates a lot of debris during the cutting process of a whole block of nougat. The debris accumulates on the conveyor or table, making it inconvenient to clean and affecting the appearance and hygiene. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soft nougat cutting device that can conveniently collect the debris generated during the cutting process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a soft nougat cutting device, including a workbench and a cutting mechanism, the cutting mechanism being located above the workbench for cutting soft nougat, and also including a support plate, a screw motor, a material collection bin and a fan;
[0007] The workbench surface is provided with a conveying recessed platform along the length direction, and the bearing plate is slidably installed on the conveying recessed platform. The bearing plate is used to place soft nougat.
[0008] The conveying concave platform has a groove in the middle along the length direction, and a positioning slide plate is slidably installed in the groove. The bottom of the bearing platform has a positioning hole that engages with the positioning slide plate.
[0009] Material sliding channels are provided on both sides of the workbench, and a discharge bin is fixedly installed at the outlet of the material sliding channel. The two ends of the collection bin are respectively connected to the two discharge bins. The fan is fixedly installed at the middle position of the outer side of the collection bin.
[0010] The chute opening has channels on both sides that communicate with the corresponding material sliding channels. A slider is slidably installed inside the chute opening, and a threaded hole is opened in the middle of the slider. The lead screw motor is fixedly installed at one end of the chute opening, and the lead screw shaft of the lead screw motor is connected to the threaded hole of the slider.
[0011] Preferably, filter screens are fixedly installed inside the collection bin on both sides of the fan, and material inlets are opened at both ends of the upper part of the collection bin, which are connected to the corresponding discharge bins.
[0012] Preferably, material discharge slots are provided on both sides of the conveying concave platform along the length direction, and the material discharge slots are connected to the corresponding material sliding channels.
[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the support platform has multiple grooves cut at equal intervals.
[0014] Preferably, both ends of the collection bin are open, and a cover plate is detachably installed inside the opening by screws.
[0015] Preferably, a proximity switch is fixedly installed at the end of the conveying concave platform away from the cutting mechanism, and the proximity switch controls the start and stop of the lead screw motor through a PLC.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention uses a lead screw motor to drive a positioning slide plate, which in turn moves the support platform. When the support platform moves to below the cutting mechanism, the nougat candy can be cut by the cutting mechanism. The fan is activated to create a negative pressure at the chute opening and the discharge chute opening, allowing the cutting debris to enter the collection bin for collection. This makes cleaning convenient and effectively prevents debris and residue from accumulating on the workbench, ensuring aesthetics and hygiene. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a soft nougat cutting device, including a workbench 1 and a cutting mechanism 2. The cutting mechanism 2 is located above the workbench 1 for cutting soft nougat. It also includes a support plate 3, a lead screw motor 4, a material collection bin 6 and a fan 9.
[0026] The workbench 2 has a conveying recessed platform 11 along its length, and the bearing plate 3 is slidably mounted on the conveying recessed platform 11. The bearing plate 3 is used to place soft nougat.
[0027] The conveying concave platform 11 has a sliding groove 12 in the middle along the length direction, and a positioning slide plate 8 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 12. The bottom of the bearing platform 3 has a positioning hole that engages with the positioning slide plate 8.
[0028] Both sides of the workbench 2 are provided with material sliding channels 15, and the outlet of the material sliding channel 15 is fixedly installed with a discharge bin 5.
